You’ll feel lucky to have these 20 St. Patrick’s Day Desserts on hand to keep your St. Patrick’s Day pinch-free! Your Irish celebration just got a whole lot sweeter!

Is St. Patrick’s Day a big deal in your house? For as long as I can remember, I have always had corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day. What I can’t remember is having a St. Patrick’s Day inspired dessert to follow. Our St. Patrick’s Day sweets never really went beyond a slice of Irish Soda Bread toasted with a little butter. That’s all well and good, but after finding these recipes, I feel like I’ve been seriously missing out!

For as long as my husband and I have been together, we’ve always had corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day, too. Occasionally, a nice loaf of rye bread has shown up on the table, too, to make sandwiches. My husband’s not much of corned beef and cabbage guy. He thinks eating it once a year is enough. I, on the other hand, could eat corned beef sandwiches all throughout the year.

So maybe this year I’ll figure out a way to make our St. Patrick’s Day dinner tradition a little sweeter for him! After all, I love spoiling him with homemade goodies! I’ll definitely have enough inspiration to work off of with these 20 St. Patrick’s Day dessert recipes!

I love finding rainbows after a rain storm, just like I’d love to find that pot of gold that’s apparently at the end of them. However, I hate – and I mean hate – the rainbow-everything trend that’s everywhere these past few years. I’m like the giant storm cloud before the rainbow forms. I loved Rainbow Brite as a kid, but as an adult, I’m more like Murky Dismal. I might not live in a Lisa Frank colored world, but I’m totally okay with making my bathtub look like a unicorn just scrubbed up in it. Bath products are my ultimate exception when it comes to the rainbow trend! So in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I decided to make a rainbow-inspired salt scrub.

One of my top favorite bath products is definitely body scrub. Body scrubs are not only great skin exfoliants, but they leave your skin soft and moisturized. I have bought tons and tons of store bought scrubs over the years, but I love making my own! It’s so easy. You can make them with sugar or salt, but today I’m using Epsom salt. Sea salt also makes a great ingredient for body scrubs (it’s a better alternative for those with sensitive skin). Use them alone or mixed with other salts. It all depends on the amount of exfoliation you want from your scrub!

Epsom salts are often used to relax the body and ease muscles. You can add them to a bath, but since I take more showers than baths, I’m using my Espom salts in this scrub. I mixed the salt with coconut oil. Once the Epsom salt does its job to exfoliate your skin, coconut oil will leave your skin moisturized and soft to the touch! It’s my favorite oil to use in scrubs because a little goes a long way!

I used a Happy essential oil blend to scent my scrub. This oil is a blend of bergamot, grapefruit and ylang ylang from one of my favorite essential oil brands. I diffuse this oil a lot to make a peaceful and uplifting environment in our home. It’s a great oil to have on hand, but also works really well in DIY bath products, like this one!

I added just a drop of food coloring to create each color. It’s just enough to color the salt without leaving your bath a crazy, colorful mess! And since you can’t have a rainbow without a pot of gold, gold mica powder was used to add a shimmering layer of salt to the mix!

Nothing says “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” better than chips and salsa! Wait. What? Okay. Maybe not. But I won’t deny myself an occasion to celebrate with chips and salsa! Salty tortilla chips and spicy salsa are one of my all-time favorite eats. I love all kinds of salsas like restaurant-style tomato, fruit salsas, and especially salsa verde! So with St. Patrick’s Day just a few days away, I figured that a green salsa – although not Irish (but neither is that corned beef you’ll be eating) – is pretty appropriate!

Instead of just a traditional salsa verde, I decided to really step it up and make a creamier version. Since I’m being fairly good about the food I eat these days, I used an avocado to give this salsa its creamy texture. Sure, you could use sour cream, but bringing avocado to the party also adds another boost of green color to the salsa. This creamy salsa verde is crazy good and a perfect starter for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration!

If you’ve never tried salsa verde before, you’re seriously missing out. It’s a little tangier and a lot milder than most red salsas. Just like red salsa, salsa verde is delicious on a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes and can even take the place of red enchilada sauce. It’s also pretty awesome on Grilled Steak Fajita Pizza (just saying)! This creamy version takes it to a whole ‘nother level of awesomeness! It’s smooth with just the right amount of heat to give it flavor, but not overpower the other ingredients.

But what would a good salsa be without tortilla chips? Since you can’t have St. Patrick’s Day without shamrocks, I used a shamrock shaped cookie cutter to make tortilla chips out of small flour tortillas. Once they were cut out, I brushed them with a mixture of olive oil, dried cilantro, and a little salt. The cilantro not only makes a nice seasoning for these chips, but also gives them a hint of festive, green color!

What’s your favorite green St. Patrick’s Day food?

This DIY slime project supplies list has been updated due to Borax safety claims. This project now uses baking soda and eye contact solution to achieve the perfect slime consistency.

If you were an 80’s-90’s kid, then you probably shared my dream of one day competing on Double Dare just so you could get slimed. That green goop signified a fail in the game, but to me it really seemed like a win! Then, Nickelodeon started producing products for slime-loving kids like me. I had Green Slime Shampoo. Next came Gak and Floam. It was definitely fun stuff that entertained kids like me and my brother!

I was pretty amazed to discover that slime was making a comeback in DIY form! The slime-loving kid in me decided to give it a try recently. Once I tweaked some of the measurements, I was able to make my very own green slime! With St. Patrick’s Day coming up (and perhaps to pay a little homage to Nickelodeon), I made a festive St. Patrick’s Day slime. It’s the perfect shade of slime green with flecks of gold and iridescent glitter throughout. I’ll admit that it’s super fun to play with, too!

STEPS

Then, add a little acrylic paint (adjust the amount depending on the color green you want to achieve) and sprinkle in glitter.

Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Add more glitter, if desired.

Gradually add eye contact solution into the glue mixture, stirring until the glue mixture becomes thick and starts to form into a ball of slime.

Wet hands with a little eye contact solution. Remove slime from bowl and start kneading with your hands until no longer sticky. Add more eye contact solution to the slime until you achieve your desired consistency.

Store slime in a mason jar to keep it from drying out.

Now that I’ve made my own slime, I can’t wait to work on other ooey-gooey concoctions! But for now, enjoy this fun, festive St. Patrick’s Day slime! It’ll definitely be enjoyed by kids and those of us who are still kids at heart!
